Status of Datalink Implementation in the Asia Pacific Region Toby Farmer, CAA New Zealand
First Steps • 1995 Worlds first operational use of CPDLC and ADS-C using datalink • ACARS • ANSP Airways New Zealand • Operator Qantas
FANS-1/A • CPDLC/ADS-C over ACARS became known as FANS-1 • FANS-1 based on Boeing implementation • Airbus implementation slightly different • FANS-1 adapted to cater for both • Hence FANS-1/A
South Pacific • CPDLC/ADS-C using FANS-1/A spread • Now operational in: • Auckland Oceanic FIR • Brisbane FIR • Nadi FIR • Tahiti FIR • Oakland FIR
Rest of Asia Pacific • Operational CPDLC/ADS-C systems: • Melbourne FIR • Singapore • Japan (Fukuoka FIR) • Vietnam • India (Chennai FIR)
Rest of Asia Pacific • CPDLC/ADS-C systems being implemented in: • Chile • China (trials) • Maldives (testing) • India • Philippines
Rest of Asia Pacific • CPDLC/ADS-C systems being planned for: • Papua New Guinea • Thailand
Rest of Asia Pacific • Some FIRs may not need CPDLC/ADS-C: • FIRs with full VHF and surveillance coverage • FIRs where an external ANSP controls the upper airspace • (E.g. some Pacific Island States)
AIDC • The less glamorous datalink! • Most important for ATC-ATC co-ordinatation • Carried over AFTN/AMHS
Datalink Performance Monitoring • To assure maintenance of RCP and RSP (PBCS) requirements • To provide basis for continuous performance improvement • To identify problems Monitoring guidance in GOLD (will move to PBCS Manual Doc 9869)
Datalink Performance Monitoring • Monitor: • CPDLC monthly • ADS-C monthly • AIDC six-monthly • And when there are changes to the system
Reference Material • Global Operational Data Link Document (GOLD) • Guidance Material for the Asia/Pacific Region for ADS/CPDLC/AIDC Ground Systems Procurement and Implementation • Guidance Material for End-to-End Safety And Performance Monitoring of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Data Link Systems in the Asia/Pacific Region
